Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 18. 1907. Serial No. 884.388.

Patented Nov. 26, 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM-KITOHING, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in Joplin, Jasper county, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Imrovements in GasBurners, of which the ollowing is a full, clear, and exact descriptlon, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specificatron.

,MyJinvention relates to a burner for use in the consumption of gas as a fuel and more particularly intended for use in burning natural gas, the invention having for its object the production of a burner of this character of a simple form and in the use of gh degree of heat may be secured. Figure I is avertical section taken throu h a hot air furnace with my burner shown 1n position therein in elevation, and part of the et tubes and mixer ig. II is a view partly in plan and partly in horizontal section of the burner with the aceillustrated in cross section on line II-II Fig. I. Fig. III is an enlarged view 1n part an elevation and in part a vertical section of the burner. Fig. IV is an enlarged cross section through one of the mixer couplings of the burner.

, In the accompanying drawingA designates a hot air furnace containing a fire chamber B at the bottom of which is a shelf O that is provided with a central orifice k couplings omitted.

gas conducting i e that vidgd with a vertical member 2. Y

3 is a receiver attached to the upper end of the vertical member of the conducting ipe and into which the gas to be consumed in my burner enters from said ipe. In the wall of this receiver are a plura it of ports 4.

5 are mixer couplings having s otted walls and which are mounted in the ports of the recelver, the cou' lin s being provided with mlplples 6 located mtenor thereof and through W oh the gas escapesfrom the receiver to mingle with air entering into the couplin s through the slots in their walls for the admixture of air and gas for pro er combustion.

6, are jet tubes havingt eir inner ends mounted in the mixer couplings 5 and which extend putwardly from said couplings and fectually confined relative to the receiver 3. There may be any desired number of these jet tubes and the mixer couplings by which they are supported to provide for a plurality of jets in the burner through which the gas escapes to be consumed by combustion for the production of heat. I

.7 designates a housing that incloses the receiver 3 of the burner and the mixer couplings 5 and its wall seated throughout its lower edge upon theshelf C in the furnace A. This housing has a closed top and is provided with apertures located in its wall in which the jet tubes 6 are snugly fitted and is preferably composed of two sections, namely a lower ring and a cap surmounting said ring, the sections bein united by bolt 8 seated in ears projecting from the sections as seen most clearly in Fig. III. The housing 7 is open at its bottom in order that air may readily pass in an upward direction into the housing from the space beneath the shelf C on which the housing rests by passing through the orifice D in said shelf.

During the use of my burner the gas to be consumed passes from the conducting pipe 1 and its vertical member 2 into the receiver 3 and escapes from said receiver throu h the nipples of the mixer couplin s into .t e jet tubes 6 to emerge at the en of said tubes and be burned as it so emerges. During the escape of the gas from the receiver the air which rises into the housing 7 gains access to the interior of the mixer couplings and the jet tubes as indicated by the arrows Figs. 1 and 3 to mingle with the gas. The receiver and mixer couplings of the burner being inclosed within the housing 7 the air that enters into said housing becomes highly heated before it is mixed with the gas and as a consequence the mixture of air and gas is ren-' dered much more efficient as a heating me dium and as a result of the gas receiver'be- 'ing closed at its top and throughout its wall,

the gas and air must necessarily remain efwithin the housing until discharged through the jet tlubes.

I claim:

In a gas burning furnace containing a fire chamber, a horizontal shelf at the bottom of said fire chamber provided with an orifice, a gas receiver located abovesaid orifice, a conducting pipe leading to said receiver, mixer associated at their inner ends with said couplings fitted to said receiver, a housing mixer coupl1ngs,substant1ally as set forth.

above said shelf inclosin said receiver and T mixer couplings and haviiig a closed top and KITCHI1\(}' a Wall fitting throughout its lower edge In the presence 01- against the top of said shelf, and jet tubes MARY'E. ANDERSON,

snugly fitted in the Wall of said housing and vS. L. MCKEE.
